The report said that for the first time in 19 years, the Doctors' Syndicate has seen free and fair elections, which attracted a record number of doctors to participate. No longer can anyone go arm-twisting doctors of Egypt to forcibly direct them to vote for the candidate of a particular party, or for certain persons who have power, money or influence.
Sawasya said that the turnout was very large in many governorates, such as Cairo, Alexandria, Kafr El-Sheikh, Damietta and Assiut, from the beginning of elections day, as a large number of doctors sought to participate and cast their votes in various polling stations. Meanwhile, in Suez and Fayoum, the turnout was moderate, unlike the rest of the governorates.
